Review: Voxel Turf "An impressive mash-up of GTA & Minecraft that just spreads itself too thinly to be a must-have purchase"

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

Voxel Turf
Platform reviewed: PC (Steam)
Rating: Melting
Voxel Turf is a crossover of the modern Grand theft Auto video games and Minecraft.
A valiant attempt to meld two of the biggest franchises in gaming that falls frustratingly short of genuine greatness.

Dynasty Feud
System reviewed: PC (Steam)

Dynasty Feud is a four-player single-screen competitive brawler from Kaia Studios. 


A multiplayer-only title, it’s a great party game that will be staying on my hard drive for a long time to come.

☆ My Christmas Video Games Memories ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

As Christmas draws nearer my mind always wanders back to when I was at school and constantly talking football and video games as the Christmas holiday came closer and closer.

My talk would always be of the video games or video game consoles or computers that I wanted from Santa that year.

It would vary from year to year and there always seemed to be something to get excited about in the world  of video games before Christmas.

☆ Review: Citadale: The Legends Trilogy "A Castlevania clone that does an admirable job of recreating a retro atmosphere" ☆ #GameDev #IndieGame

Citadale: The Legends Trilogy - PC

Citadale: The Legends Trilogy is a platform video game developed by Ezekiel Rage that owes a great deal to the Castlevania series of games (a GREAT deal) especially the 8-bit iterations on the original NES console.

☆ Review: Mantis Burn Racing - "Old school Top-down racing brought to the current generation" ☆ #GameDev #IndieGame

Mantis Burn Racing - Nintendo Switch
Mantis Burn racing is an arcade racer video game from Voofoo Studios. Released on PS4, PC and Xbox One last year and now ported to the Nintendo Switch, I can imagine that the playing portably on the Switch is probably the best way to get the most out of this game across all platforms.

Hand Of Fate 2 - PS4

When I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s I would often visit my friend Lee’s house to play video games on his SEGA Master System.

For some reason, we played a lot of World Cup ITALIA 90 which was an awful game but nonetheless held our attention for countless afternoons after school.

Whilst playing on Lee’s Master System we would have to play in Lee’s brother’s bedroom as he had the only TV upstairs.

It was whilst in Lee’s brother’s bedroom that I discovered something called Dungeons & Dragons.

☆ Review: Inmates - "Come on baby, light my match" ☆ #GameDev #IndieGame

Inmates - PC
Iceberg Interactive has published some great video games over the years, Conarium, Starpoint Gemini: Warlords, Darkness Within, The Lost Crown (and hopefully, one day before I wither away and turn to dust, its sequel Blackenrock) and many others. 

Inmates is the newest release from the publisher and whilst it does have nice moments, a great tagline and a very moody atmosphere, it isn’t up there at the tip of Iceberg’s catalogue.

☆ Review: Greedy Guns "An absolute MUST for fans of local co-op, you don’t like it? Talk to the hand!" ☆ #GameDev

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

Greedy Guns - PC

I make no secret of my love for co-operative video games, growing up in the 80’s and 90’s and having a younger brother; co-operative games have been a huge part of my personal gaming history. 

I’ve played truly great local co-op games over the last few years, games that were fine in single-player mode but elevated immeasurably when played in local co-op. 

Games such as Hunted, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Dead Nation, Mother Russia Bleeds, Broforce, Crimsonland and 7 Days to Die spring to mind as recent titles I’ve played through and I’m sure there are many more that I’ve missed.

☆ Review: Super Mario Odyssey "You Can Almost Go Home Again" ☆ #MarioOdyssey

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

Much like the great traveller Odysseus, who spent so many years from home, I have also been on a long journey back to that place. No, not Ithaca—for me, the Mushroom Kingdom, and my passion for exploration. I just finished my first of what will be many playthroughs, and I did not want it to end.
Nintendo wanted to send their hero on a far-reaching adventure as he sought to reclaim his bride—again, like in Homer’s Odyssey—and some will boil it down to an attractive looking collect-a-thon—attempting to separate pieces of a wholly blended experience—but for me it was a joyous epic that came close to recapturing more than just what I could throw my hat on.
Mario’s next great video game experience is here, and it is time to dive into the craziness, moustache first.
